Mike Waltz fights back tears revealing what Hamas hostage refused to do before release
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
UNITED NATIONS — Three years after the worst massacre in Israel’s history, Eliya Cohen — who survived 505 days in Hamas captivity — took the stage at the United Nations alongside his newlywed wife, Ziv Abud, a survivor of the Nova music festival massacre, and tried to explain to some of the world’s top diplomats what he had endured.
«They didn’t let me change clothes or to get a shower, even to eat or to drink,» he said. «They chained me with heavy iron chains by my leg,» Cohen said during an emotional discussion moderated by Dr. Phil McGraw at Israel’s U.N. commemoration Tuesday.
He said lights were kept on to prevent the hostages from sleeping and that captors would enter repeatedly during the night screaming in an effort to frighten them. Cohen said they were not permitted to use a restroom and that at times survival felt almost impossible.

(Israeli Mission to the UN)
But he described repeatedly forcing his mind away from the violence and toward the possibility of returning home.
«Don’t think about the violence. Don’t think about the torture. Don’t think about everything,» Cohen recalled telling himself. «Just continue, stay strong. And maybe one day, you will come back home to your family.»
Cohen was among the 251 people abducted during the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack, when about 1,200 people were killed in southern Israel in their homes and at the Nova Music festival. It was the deadliest single day in Israel’s history. He personally lost 48 people he knew that day.
His wife, Ziv, carried a different piece of the same story.
Abud and Cohen had arrived at the Nova festival shortly before dawn with her 19-year-old nephew Amit and his girlfriend Karin. When the attack began, they eventually took refuge in a roadside bomb shelter that Cohen said was designed for roughly eight people but became packed with 29.

Abud told the audience that more than 40 terrorists later attacked the shelter with grenades and gunfire. One man inside repeatedly grabbed grenades and threw them back outside before he was killed, she said.
As the attack continued, Cohen covered Abud with bodies — an act that saved her life.
«I lost my consciousness. Eliya was kidnapped,» Abud said. «And after seven hours, I woke up in the shelter. I found myself in a pile of bodies.»
She paused, fighting back the tears. «It wasn’t even bodies. It was body parts.»
Abud said she then saw that Amit and Karin had been killed. «I needed to sit with the bodies for seven more hours,» she said. She was eventually rescued, one of seven survivors from the shelter.
«We were four people that went to the festival from the same house,» Abud said, «And I’m the only one that came back home that night.»

For 505 days, she campaigned for Cohen’s return without knowing whether the man she loved would ever come home. Cohen, meanwhile, said he believed while in captivity that Abud had been killed.
The couple married weeks before Tuesday’s ceremony.
«But now he’s here,» Abud said. «And I can look forward to the future after we got married.»
She said she hoped the years ahead would include «kids and family because we are here and we survived. And we need to live a normal life,» she said.
Another Oct. 7 survivor who addressed the diplomats was Oriya Berlin, a young Israeli visual intelligence observer who had arrived at a base in the Gaza border area just two days before the attack.
Berlin said she woke on the morning of Oct. 7 believing she was hearing a thunderstorm.
«Outside, thousands of missiles were raining down with a single objective: to destroy my life and the lives of my friends,» she said.
Berlin and four other soldiers ran barefoot and in pajamas into a small shelter. They were unarmed. She said the women initially believed the incursion would resemble scenarios they had studied during training — a small squad that Israeli forces could quickly contain.
Seconds later, she said, they heard vehicles and gunfire. Berlin described roughly 60 heavily armed terrorists attacking the base. At one point, she said, a message appeared in the unit’s WhatsApp group telling soldiers to shout «IDF» in Hebrew so Israeli troops could find them. The broken Hebrew immediately raised suspicions that a terrorist had taken a soldier’s phone.
They remained silent.
Berlin said they then heard another group shouting for soldiers to identify themselves, followed by a burst of gunfire and silence.
Ten hours after the attack began, she said, special forces finally reached them.

Berlin said that after learning how many of her friends had been murdered or kidnapped, she could not remain at home. Although she was offered the opportunity to leave military service, Berlin said she refused and returned as an observer for another six months before later moving into the IDF Public Diplomacy Office.
«I wanted the world to see that the IDF is not just an intimidating military force on a television screen,» she said. «It was also a 5’2″ fake blonde girl like me who simply wanted to protect her home, her family, and her friends.»
She said she has since spoken before audiences ranging from international organizations to high school students who told her «I was wasting their time because of their deep-seated anti-Israel hostility.» «But I stayed,» Berlin said. «I spoke because the truth demands a voice.»
Berlin said her decision to continue speaking was rooted in the friends who did not survive.
Before the ceremony, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz met privately with Cohen and Abud, asking Cohen how he was feeling physically and telling the couple how good it was to see them «healthy and alive.»
Minutes later, from the stage, Waltz became visibly emotional as he recounted a part of Cohen’s captivity that he said he had been unable to get out of his mind.
Waltz said that on the night before Cohen’s release, Hamas tried to make him record a propaganda video claiming he had been treated well. «He refused,» Waltz said. «He held firm. He said no.»
Waltz said Hamas again tried to turn Cohen’s release into propaganda the following day, placing him before cameras and instructing him to raise his hands.
«He refused again,» Waltz said. «Eliya, we salute you. I salute you,» Waltz continued. «You are a proud, strong Jew. You’re undefeated, man» he said with his voice breaking.
The hostage crisis stretched over two years and several rounds of negotiations, releases and rescue operations. Waltz told Fox News Digital after Tuesday’s ceremony that he wanted the commemoration to acknowledge both the loss of Oct. 7 and how much had changed since.
«Oct. 7, 2023, was their 9/11, was their Pearl Harbor,» Waltz said. «More Jews were brutally massacred that day than any day since the Holocaust.»

He said it was important «to recognize the loss» and «hear directly from the survivors,» but also to take stock of the region three years later.
«We have President Trump’s 20-point peace plan. We have a U.N. resolution establishing the International Stabilization Force,» Waltz told Fox News Digital. «He’s determined to not repeat what’s happened so often in the past, where Hamas rebuilds, Iran rearms, they attack again, and you have this devastation all over again.»
Waltz pointed to broader shifts across the Middle East.
«Iran is on its back foot. Lebanon has hope, Syria has hope. Iraq has hope,» he said.
He said he hoped the commemoration could combine «remembrance, the perspective, and I think charting, trying to chart a path of hope and peace for the future.»
From the stage, Waltz argued that Oct. 7 had produced the opposite strategic result from what Iran and its allies sought. «Oct. 7 completely, and I think irreversibly, has backfired on Iran and all of their terrorist proxies,» he said, pointing to changes in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq and the expansion of Israel’s regional relationships.
He ended with a message to the audience: «America will stand with the Jewish people.»
«Be strong. Be resilient. Be wise,» Waltz said. «And know that what you’re doing is right. Stand with your moral compass and know that this administration, the United States of America, stands with you.»
Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon used the gathering — attended by ambassadors and diplomats from multiple countries — to turn his attention to the institution hosting it.

«Even in this building, the U.N. is trying to demonize and isolate Israel,» Danon said. «They have turned the victim into the accused, comparing our IDF soldiers to Hamas terrorists.»
Danon said he has been told by colleagues that he takes criticism of Israel at the U.N. ‘too personally’.
«Indeed, it is personal,» he responded. «My daughter is serving right now in the IDF. My son served as an officer in the IDF,» Danon said. «He was supposed to be on the Re’im base next to Gaza on Oct. 7. The last minute, he was released home for the holiday.»
«That’s why it’s personal,» Danon said. «The U.N. tries to demonize all of our sons and daughters, our lions and lionesses who give everything so we can freely live in our homeland. So yes, it is personal. It’s personal for all of us.»
For Cohen and Abud, however, the event eventually returned from geopolitics to something much smaller: the possibility of an ordinary future.
Abud said they hoped to have children and build a family despite knowing that Oct. 7 and the 505 days that followed would remain part of their lives.
Cohen, asked by McGraw what he would say if the terrorists who abducted and tortured him were watching, needed only a few words.
«I won,» Cohen said.
«I won and I’m here.»
He then turned his message outward.
«Stay proud to be Jewish,» Cohen said. «And stay proud to be Israeli.»

Unearthed clip exposes how far Talarico was willing to go on raising taxes during COVID era
James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for the Senate in Texas, once pressed Democrats to consider cuts to healthcare benefits a nonstarter — regardless of the consequences for the state’s finances.
The remark came during a podcast interview in which Talarico discussed how Texas might balance its budget amid COVID-related shortfalls. He feared Republicans would look for savings in healthcare services.
«I don’t care where you get the revenue. I don’t care what taxes you have to raise,» Talarico said in a 2020 appearance with Texas Rising, a progressive YouTube channel focused on political engagement among younger voters.
The resurfaced moment adds to the pile of past statements dealing with gender, immigration and fiscal management, complicating the political calculus for Talarico as he aims to convince voters in Texas that he could represent a Republican-leaning constituency, even as a Democrat.
TALARICO SAYS HE ‘MISSED THE MARK’ AS HE BACKTRACKS ON CONTROVERSIAL WOKE STATEMENTS
At the time, Texas was facing a bleak financial outlook.
The pandemic had crippled key sections of the state’s regular revenue streams. As oil demand crashed nationally, tax revenue that would normally come from hotels, bars and restaurants also faced steep reductions. Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar projected a $4.6 billion shortfall.
«The economic contraction associated with COVID-19 has resulted in revenue collection this fiscal year that is much lower than our earlier projections,» Hegar said in a statement.
«This estimate also assumes that restrictions on businesses and individuals will be lifted before the end of this calendar year and that economic activity will strengthen.»
As a part of the COVID response, Texas ordered most agencies to look for ways to cut their spending by 5% in the 2020 – 2021 budget.
In a letter, Governor Greg Abbott largely shielded Health and Human Services (HHS) from the reductions, sparing the state’s Medicaid program, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, the foster care program and disability services, among others. Even so, $2.6 billion of HHS’s budget remained subject to cuts, according to the agency’s estimations.
That left the Health and Human Services Commission with a target of $132,716,600 in cuts.
‘FAKE’ MODERATE TALARICO’S TEXAS SURGE TESTS PAXTON IN FIGHT TO HOLD CRUCIAL GOP SENATE SEAT
Despite the reduced figure, Talarico blasted the idea of making spending reductions geared towards healthcare.
«You’re not going to make our students and our teachers — you’re not going to make the sick and the elderly pay for this pandemic we are not going to balance our budget off of the most vulnerable people in this state,» Talarico said.
He argued that Democrats should create a similar kind of stigma against cuts to HHS as the one surrounding raising taxes.
«Sometimes you get the reaction in the capitol that’s an unreasonable position to take. But the other side of the aisle has already taken revenue increases off the table. They’ve done a good job of making certain options taboo, so I think our coalition, not just Democrats but progressives, and anybody with a functioning heart should be able to make cuts to health and education taboo and take them off the table,» Talarico said.
The moment has brought on criticisms from at least one Republican onlooker.
«High-tax Talarico never saw a tax hike he didn’t love in the Texas Legislature, and he is promising to continue that if elected to the Senate. James Talarico will raise taxes on every Texan to fund his radical agenda of taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids and free healthcare for illegal immigrants,» Zach Kraft, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee said in a statement to Digital.
As he wages his bid for U.S. Senate, Talarico has advocated for an expansion of U.S. health policy.
On his website, Talarico has called for universal eligibility for Medicare, to regulate medical debt and expand veteran care. His views on Medicare, which overlap with many other progressives in the party, have prompted criticism from Republicans who believe such an expansion would cripple the federal budget with cost.
Skeptics of the plan have argued for years that such an expansion is too expensive and does little to address existing inefficiencies in the American healthcare system.
In 2019, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., took to the Senate floor to blast the idea, calling it a straitjacket solution that would undermine healthcare quality.
«The [Congressional Budget Office] projects in its report on a single-payer plan that government spending on health care would increase substantially. They go on to say to cover the massive cost of government-run care, income taxes would have to at least double. Income taxes, American families — at least double,» Barrasso said.
SHOCK POLL: TALARICO TIES PAXTON IN TEXAS SENATE RACE, THREATENING GOP STRONGHOLD
Talarico’s campaign did not address questions on whether his designs for healthcare are shaped by the national deficit, but noted that his plan includes increases in taxes on the country’s top earners.
«James supports making billionaires pay their fair share so we can cut taxes for middle class Texans and fund healthcare for working families — which is why he has unveiled plans to end special tax handouts to corporations and billionaires to help fund healthcare, while proudly voting for the largest property tax cut in Texas history to make sure middle class families get a break,» the Talarico campaign told Digital. «Ken Paxton has worked to enrich himself and his billionaire mega-donors, amassed 15 properties on a taxpayer-funded salary, and was impeached by his own party for his corrupt abuse of office.»
Having cleared the party primary, Talarico will face off against Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton in the state’s Nov. 3 general election.

Las personas que padecen cáncer y que viajan de San Francisco Gotera, Morazán, a San Salvador y viceversa no pagarán los USD 5.55 del pasaje durante octubre. La medida de la ruta 305 también cubre a un acompañante por cada paciente y se extiende a quienes aborden en cualquiera de las paradas intermedias.
Pedro Fuentes, encargado de la ruta 305, explicó a Infobae El Salvador que la campaña coincide con el mes de concientización sobre el cáncer de mama. Sin embargo, la empresa decidió que el apoyo no se limitara a ese diagnóstico, sino que alcanzara a usuarios con cualquier tipo de cáncer.
“Nosotros optamos por no solo a esas personas del cáncer de mama darle gratis, sino que a todas las personas, no importa el tipo de cáncer que tengan”, afirmó Fuentes, quien señaló que el beneficio está dirigido a personas de todas las edades que viajen a recibir tratamiento o que regresen a la zona oriental después de una atención.
La ruta reservará un asiento para el paciente y otro para la persona que lo acompañe. El servicio estará disponible en todos los horarios durante octubre, incluidos los viajes de madrugada que conectan San Francisco Gotera con San Salvador y que suelen ser utilizados por personas que necesitan llegar temprano a una cita o una emergencia médica.
Fuentes aclaró que la ayuda no está restringida a quienes inician el recorrido en San Francisco Gotera o en San Salvador. Los pacientes podrán abordar en cualquier punto de la ruta, aunque solo necesiten completar una parte del trayecto entre las dos ciudades.
“En cualquier punto del camino, no importa el tramo, si sea corto o largo, lo vamos a recibir”, aseguró el encargado de la ruta 305.
Facebook, TikTok y WhatsApp para reservar los asientos
Las reservas pueden solicitarse a través de la página de Facebook Gotera 305 Especial y de la cuenta de TikTok TransporteFuentes1. En ambos perfiles están publicados los enlaces de los grupos de WhatsApp administrados por la ruta, aunque los usuarios también pueden comunicarse por mensaje directo.
Al momento de hacer la solicitud, los pasajeros deben indicar en qué parada abordarán la unidad o si saldrán desde San Francisco Gotera o San Salvador. Con esa información, el personal puede apartar los espacios para el paciente y su acompañante antes de cada salida.
Fuentes explicó que la reserva busca facilitar el traslado de quienes deben asistir a consultas, tratamientos o emergencias. El servicio también se aplica a la salida de madrugada, que la empresa habilitó para atender a pasajeros que necesitan llegar temprano a hospitales, universidades o lugares de trabajo.
Pedro Fuentes reportó 14 solicitudes desde el anuncio
Al momento de la entrevista, 14 personas se habían comunicado con la ruta 305 para solicitar el beneficio. Hasta el día anterior, un pasajero había viajado en el horario de las 11:45 am y otras dos personas utilizaron el servicio de madrugada para realizar su traslado.
La empresa ya había aplicado una campaña similar en 2025, cuando atendió a 40 personas. Fuentes explicó que ese año la iniciativa se dio a conocer hasta mediados de octubre, por lo que tuvo menos tiempo para llegar a las familias que podían necesitar el apoyo.
Este año, el encargado espera que la cifra aumente a partir de la difusión que recibió la medida. “Espero que sea más del doble que eso”, dijo al comparar las atenciones de 2025 con las expectativas que tiene para esta nueva edición.
Las historias de los pasajeros impulsaron la campaña
La decisión de entregar pasajes sin costo nació de los relatos que el personal escucha durante los viajes. Fuentes contó que muchos usuarios les explican que se trasladan para acompañar a padres, hijos, abuelos u otros familiares que enfrentan tratamientos contra el cáncer.
El encargado también ha vivido situaciones cercanas a la enfermedad. Dijo que perdió amigos a causa del cáncer, que varios familiares han recibido ese diagnóstico y que actualmente tiene una amiga que lucha contra la enfermedad.
Esas experiencias personales, sumadas a lo que escucha de los pasajeros, influyeron en la decisión de ofrecer la ayuda durante octubre. “Compartimos el sentimiento de lo que se siente estar en esos momentos de angustia”, expresó Fuentes.
Algunas familias tienen cómo pagar el traslado, pero el encargado considera que el beneficio les transmite acompañamiento en una etapa difícil. Otras personas enfrentan mayores obstáculos para reunir el dinero de viajes frecuentes hacia hospitales o centros de tratamiento.
“Nos sentimos bien al saber que ellos, de alguna manera, les estamos apoyando con un granito de arena”, manifestó Fuentes sobre el alcance que esperan tener con la exoneración del pasaje.
Una niña que viajaba con su madre marcó a la ruta 305
Entre las experiencias que más recuerda está la de una madre que viajaba con su hija, una niña de aproximadamente ocho años, para que la menor recibiera tratamiento. La familia utilizaba la ruta cuando la niña requería atención en San Salvador.
La madre escribía a la empresa cuando su hija se sentía mal y debía viajar de emergencia. El personal de la ruta les reservaba los asientos para que pudieran abordar juntas y realizar el trayecto hacia la capital.
Hace cerca de dos años, la ruta 305 abrió una salida de madrugada desde San Francisco Gotera hacia San Salvador. Fuentes explicó que ese servicio fue pensado para personas con emergencias, citas médicas, estudios universitarios o trabajos que comienzan temprano.
El nuevo horario les permitió conocer las historias de más pasajeros. La niña y su madre se encontraban entre quienes viajaban con frecuencia por motivos médicos, y en algunas semanas la menor debía trasladarse hasta tres veces para recibir atención.
Después de varios viajes, la madre comunicó que su hija había muerto porque no resistió el tratamiento de quimioterapia. La noticia afectó al personal de la empresa, que ya había creado cercanía con ambas pasajeras durante las reservas y los traslados.
“La verdad se sintió bien desgarrador, porque ya la habíamos tomado como cariño a la pasajera”, relató Fuentes, quien precisó que ese caso no fue el único motivo de la campaña.
El encargado también recordó la muerte de un amigo de infancia, ocurrida hace menos de dos años. Según contó, su amigo tenía un tumor entre el pulmón y el corazón, una pérdida que reforzó su cercanía con los pasajeros que atraviesan situaciones similares.
San Francisco Gotera, San Miguel y San Salvador forman el recorrido
La ruta 305 sale desde San Salvador, pasa por San Miguel y llega a San Francisco Gotera, Morazán. El servicio también opera en sentido contrario hacia la capital, por lo que los pacientes pueden utilizar el beneficio tanto para acudir a una atención como para regresar a sus hogares.
Desde San Salvador, Fuentes mencionó como paradas principales San Martín y San Vicente. En el trayecto desde San Francisco Gotera hacia la capital, señaló el kilómetro 18, La Coquera, China House y el Hospital Militar.
La empresa también recibe pasajeros en puntos como Moncagua, Chinameca, Lolotique y El Triunfo. Las personas con cáncer que aborden en esas localidades también pueden solicitar la reserva para viajar sin pagar el costo del pasaje durante octubre.
El valor habitual del recorrido completo entre San Salvador y San Francisco Gotera es de USD 5.55. Durante la campaña, los pacientes y sus acompañantes quedarán exentos de ese pago después de avisar a la empresa y gestionar la reserva de los asientos.
Fuentes estimó que la ruta moviliza entre 1,500 y 1,800 pasajeros por semana. La cantidad varía según el día, ya que los fines de semana las unidades suelen ir llenas, mientras que entre semana la afluencia equivale aproximadamente al 50 % de la que registran sábados y domingos.
La salida de las 2:15 am llega temprano a San Salvador
El primer servicio desde San Francisco Gotera parte a las 2:15 am. La unidad pasa por La Coquera, en San Miguel, alrededor de las 2:55 am y llega por El Chinaco hacia el Hospital Militar cerca de las 3:00 am.
La llegada a San Salvador está prevista aproximadamente a las 5:30 am. Fuentes explicó que ese horario permite que los pasajeros lleguen temprano a emergencias, citas médicas, universidades o trabajos que requieren iniciar la jornada en las primeras horas del día.
Después de esa salida, la ruta tiene otro horario desde San Francisco Gotera a las 5:00 am. El último viaje desde ese punto parte a las 11:45 am.
Desde San Salvador hacia San Francisco Gotera, la primera unidad sale a las 6:25 am. El segundo servicio parte a las 12:30 pm y el último inicia su recorrido a las 2:26 pm.

A tres años del ataque del 7 de octubre, Israel homenajeó a las víctimas de Hamas en plena campaña electoral
Israel homenajeó este miércoles a las víctimas del brutal ataque lanzado hace tres años por el movimiento islamista palestino Hamas, en medio de una fuerte crispación política a tres semanas de las elecciones y por nuevos bombardeos en la Franja de Gaza.
En Reim, donde ese 7 de octubre se celebraba el festival de música electrónica Nova, asaltado por milicianos islamistas, los allegados de las víctimas observaron un minuto de silencio a las 06:29 locales, la hora exacta en que comenzó el ataque desde Gaza, en la jornada más sangrienta desde la creación del Estado de Israel.
“Fue el minuto en que nuestras vidas cambiaron para siempre”, dijo Katia Zohar, la madre de Bar, asesinada con 23 años junto a otras 360 personas en ese festival a pocos kilómetros de la Franja de Gaza.
“Me acuerdo de todo. El momento en que me llamó para que viniera a buscarla, porque había misiles volando (…) y luego cuando llamó desde la carretera, gritando que le estaban disparando”, contó.
Anna Davitashvili, de 53 años, recordó a su hijo mayor Shaun, asesinado a los 25 años, junto a sus amigos en el festival Nova. “Lo extraño”, dijo.
Minuto de silencio en el kibutz Kfar Aza
También se observó un momento de silencio en el kibutz Kfar Aza, cerca de la frontera con Gaza, donde 64 personas fueron asesinadas y 18 secuestradas durante el ataque.
Las conmemoraciones se llevaron a cabo este año en plena campaña electoral, antes de las elecciones del 27 de octubre, que se anuncian muy reñidas.
El primer ministro, Benjamin Netanyahu, declaró en un comunicado que este es un día en el que “el pueblo se une en el recuerdo”.
“Completaremos la misión: estamos aquí y haremos rendir cuentas a todos los asesinos”, afirmó.
